8 Asta Will Wield Greater Power as an Anti-Magic Mage

His Demon Swords Bring Him Closer to His Dream

Asta has always been the underdog in Black Clover, which is one of the reasons why fans root for him.

This ability, combined with his growing control and strength, has earned him the title of an Arcane Stage mage. His Demon-Slayer, Demon-Dweller, and Demon-Destroyer swords hold unique traits that allow him to block, reflect, or erase magic altogether, making him a real threat even to the strongest mages.

Before the time skip, Asta had already brought major achievements for the Black Bulls, helping them climb the ranks as a respected squad. But his journey doesn't stop there. Asta's development after the time skip is something to watch closely. With stronger enemies and higher stakes, every fight will test his limits, both in strength and spirit. His dream to become the Magic Emperor comes closer, and it's only a matter of time before the world sees just how far he's reached.

Even before the time skip, he had already proven himself, rising through the ranks of the Golden Dawn with pure talent and determination, earning the title of vice-captain.

Yuno is one of the most versatile and nearly unmatched magic knights.

His control over Star Magic, a power inherited from his Spade Kingdom lineage, gives him unique and formidable abilities.
